Police investigation into Vigar's death ongoing

- Published

The police investigation into the death of former Arsenal academy player Billy Vigar is ongoing, a coroner's court has heard.

Vigar died from a "significant brain injury" in September 2025, five days after colliding with a concrete wall surrounding a pitch while playing for Chichester City at Wingate and Finchley's stadium.

His parents, Keith and Camilla, told BBC Sport on the one-year anniversary that "the FA could have stopped Billy losing his life because they had so many warnings".

Det Supt Colin Chandler, from the Metropolitan Police, told a pre-inquest review hearing that he anticipated he would need another "two to three months" on his investigation.
